Key Engineering effort complete, design matured
Modular design allows low and high level boarding without changing the carbody
SCOA/ Siemens team building upon success of AAF/ Brightline cars
Lessons learned from Multi-State Tier 4 locomotive and Amtrak locomotive projects

7. Approach to PRIIA Compliance 305-003 Rev. A
Design is PRIIA & FRA compliant
FRA involvement in both AAF/ Brightline and CALIDOT projects
Collaborative approach across stakeholders
